Title: what is the best non-doublewide card out there? Post by: CanaryInTheMine on June 24, 2011, 02:00:13 AM I'm trying to determine what is the best (in terms of highest attainable MHash/s ) non-double width card?
What is the thinnest card if you account for the heatsink/fan? Thanks! Title: Re: what is the best non-doublewide card out there? Post by: TurdHurdur on June 24, 2011, 02:08:11 AM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131433

Because you're paying more. You could buy more video cards with the extra money thus get more power. You could buy a gold encrusted 6990 for 10k, sure it gets the same performance but the point is you're wasting money. Title: Re: what is the best non-doublewide card out there?

My question is about technical differences. Is the PowerColor LCS AX6990 capable of same hashing rates as a regular dounle-slot 6990? Are there differences in hashing capabilities?

My guess would be that since it's water cooled, if you have a decent water cooling system you should potentially be able to overclock it further than a regular card, so that could allow for more mhashes. No idea how far it can be overclocked though as I don't have one.Title: Re: what is the best non-doublewide card out there?

Also since you want single slot I assume you only have one slot free i.e. these cards will suffocate even more. the only good solution is a WC loop. Title: Re: what is the best non-doublewide card out there? Post by: minerX on June 25, 2011, 09:03:14 PM water cooled cards are also single slot They are NOT single slot. If you get a double and put a water block on it it's still double. You just have less overhead. Title: Re: what is the best non-doublewide card out there? Post by: einsteinx2 on June 25, 2011, 10:58:36 PM The water cooled 6990 linked to in this thread is definitely single slot. If you take a regular double slot card and convert it to water cooling then you're right, but pre-made water cooled cards like the one linked are absolutely single slot, just look at the picture on Newegg.
Title: Re: what is the best non-doublewide card out there? Post by: Hawkix on June 26, 2011, 08:06:35 AM IMHO to be able to connect watter in/out lets, you need to space them as if it were double-slot cards.

I was just going by the fact that it only uses up one case slot in the picture. You're probably right though. |
